FormaL claims FaZe are OpTic Chicago\u2019s toughest competition for CDL 2021 Call of Duty League \/ Instagram, @atl_fazeOpTic Chicago\u2019s Matthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper has revealed that he thinks the Atlanta FaZe will be the team to beat in the Call of Duty League\u2019s 2021 season, citing how similar the two teams are. [jwplayer br5AuoVJ] A seven-year veteran in professional Call of Duty, FormaL boasts a wealth of expertise and some interesting insights. Excited for Black Ops Cold War and a refreshed CDL roster, back under the OpTic banner, the 2017 World Champion broke down his expectations for the 2021 season on an episode of \u201cThe Bakery\u201d podcast. Tucked in between romantic stories of trying to hide his gaming career from a crush and resisting Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner\u2019s kiss attempts, FormaL discussed the upcoming competitive season. With former teammate Alec \u2018Arcitys\u2019 Sanderson moved over to Atlanta, OpTic\u2019s AR revealed that FaZe are the biggest concern in 2021 \u2014 not the 2020 champion Dallas Empire. With the league transitioning to 4 vs. 4 and Treyarch\u2019s Black Ops Cold War, FormaL believes that Chicago is primed to win CDL Champs, but that Atlanta is the toughest test ahead. For mobile users, segment begins at 39:45. Like sniping from the safety of a head glitch, FormaL did not hesitate at all when asked who would Chicago considers the most troubling team in 2021: \u201cDefinitely FaZe. FaZe is just another powerhouse \u2026 They\u2019re pretty well-rounded, they got an insane amount of talent, they all want to play with each other. It\u2019s just how our team is.\u201d Pinpointing FaZe\u2019s roster balance, FormaL elaborated that the inclusion of Arcitys simply adds a new element to the competition between Chicago and Atlanta: \u201cAlec\u2019s a really good friend of mine. It\u2019s gonna be really fun to play against him the whole year. You\u2019ve got the Simp, aBeZy duo, you\u2019ve got the Cellium thing \u2026 it\u2019s gonna be a good rivalry for sure.\u201d In 2020, Chris \u2018Simp\u2019 Lehr and Tyler \u2018aBeZy\u2019 Pharris were one of the best SMG duos in the CDL while McArthur \u2018Cellium\u2019 Jovel was an MVP candidate (alongside Simp) in the flex role. When he spoke with Dexerto back in July, Cellium also told us that he thought Arcitys was the best AR in the league. While respectful of the talent and balance this new FaZe roster enjoys, FormaL was unfazed when asked who wins CDL Champs 2021: \u201cWe do. 100 percent.\u201d This coincides with his earlier explanation that the change to 4 vs. 4 suits a Chicago team that prefers that style, is excited to reunite with Dashy, and enjoys Treyarch titles. Last year, the Empire came first, FaZe came second, and Chicago (at that point, the Huntsmen) came third. This year, FormaL expects to win, FaZe to repeat with silver, and it doesn\u2019t even seem like third place is on his radar: \u201cI don\u2019t know who the f**k comes third, Paris?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
